So today, I went to the dr and got my date! They are sending off for my insurance approval tomorrow, I'm praying I get approved!! I don't see why I would get denied. My date will be July 17th!! I'm so excited! :)

Congratulations on the great news. Hopefully, everything will go well for you. I don't see my doctor until Thursday. In my conversation with one of the nurses last week, she said my surgery was approved. I think the referral letter my primary care physician submitted on my behalf had a lot to do with it.

Congrats Bentley Jade! That is about a week after me. I go on July 9, which seems like a long time from now, although it really is not.

Congrats SDB1147!

Thank you all!! :) I'm very excited and anxious! It does seem like forever away, but then again I'm not stressing that because it was JUST Christmas yesterday it seems! Lol.

And I didn't ask my doctor about a referral letter, perhaps I should mention that! My doctors nurse is great, she's so involved in everything so maybe ill talk to her about that!!

Thanks again y'all! :)

My first visit was April 11th. So between 4/11 and today, I did my psych eval & nutrition class. My labwork was done on my first visit. So now just waiting for insurance approval! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
